My mother in law told me that years ago in the United States that after 25
years they would declare a grave an open and a family could reuse it. I have
never checked with anyone (and wouldn't know who to check with) about tha
validity of the statement. Now with the steel vaults and all that can't be
done. And we are running out of cemetery space. I believe in Cambridge Ma.
at the city cemetery you cannot buy a grave ahead of time.
